Underwater adventures with the 5015

Dear friends, I’m happy to share with you all some photos of a recent diving experience in cenotes while on holiday around Yucatán. The cenotes I got to dive are named Dzombakal and X’batún. Naturally, the 5015 tagged along, and it did so with flying colo

Ref 5015 in titanium

45mm for classic feel, but less than 100g. IMO the perfect all-rounder, equally at ease in the boardroom, at the beach club, hiking in the mountains, and exploring scuba depths. Best wishes from warm and sunny Marbella in late February.

Ref 5000 & Ref 5015 Two classics, with very different feels, both equipped with the near-perfect Calibre 1315. Which one is your favourite?

Confirmed: the powerful lume glows all night long, and it could probably last for several days if you are locked in a cave, despite the slightly smaller size of the hands and indices, compared to the regular Bathyscaphe (ref 5000 and ref 5200).

The smaller size of the lumed surfaces makes legibility even more precise, but not weaker. It is possibly more concentrated. This LE is more legible than the FF ref 5015, where there is a lot of light but less legibility. I am not aware of the existence o

Yes, I have used the pushers underwater for 11 years without finding any issue. I fully agree with your point about curves vs angles, and that’s why I feel that the current bracelet X71 (which equipped the 5015 and the Leman line right from the start) doe

Thanks Bill. The X71 definitely did bring out the beauty of my fifty fathoms. I just can't stop wearing the thing! That's a worry about the clasp. I already spent about USD$2500 at Blancpain for the service , parts and end links for the bracelet. Hope the

Wonderful news.

First off, welcome back your Fifty — what a faithful companion after 14 years, and now refreshed with new bezel, hands, and barrels. She looks terrific, and that X71 is a serious upgrade. On your clasp question: what you’re describing with the stamped fol
